It's our wedding anniversary today - 59 years! It's extraordinary to think we've reached that milestone and are still independent and enjoying life. Looking back into the family tree I can't remember anyone who held out for that duration. It seems that the men all died young so a long marriage was not on the cards. Both my grandfathers were in their 50s when they died and my dad was only 68.
Marilyn found an Anniversary card she had bought at some stage. Her idea was that we would bring it out each January 8th, write a quick message and store it away until the next year. The first message was dated 1997 and there were messages for the next couple of years, and then nothing. Clearly, the card had become lost. It turned up again this year mixed up with Christmas decorations.
We're going out for lunch at Stickybeaks, a favourite restaurant in Longford - just the two of us.
